The Practice of Care:
a Trauma Conscious 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
April 2027-November 2027
YTT is so back!!
The Practice of Care is a 200-hour trauma-conscious yoga alliance certified teacher training created by Nikki and Sophie for anyone seeking a more grounded, inclusive, and community-centered approach to yoga. Held outside the traditional studio setting, this training invites you into a practice rooted in yoga's rich history and philosophy while honoring the realities of our modern lives and westernized yoga. Together, we'll explore trauma-conscious facilitation, accessibility, embodiment, ethical teaching, and the power of care as both a personal and collective practice.
Whether you hope to teach yoga or deepen your own relationship with the practice, this training offers an environment where curiosity, community, and connection are valued over western norms, capitalism and the physical form. We believe yoga belongs to everyone, and that meaningful practice is cultivated through presence, mutual support, and a commitment to making yoga more accessible for all. The Practice of Care is an invitation to learn, grow, and build a practice that centers compassion, justice, and belonging, from the inside out.
This training will be in person with a few virtual sessions. Virtual info sessions are coming soon- add your name to the interest list to find out more!
